  1. This is funny to read. he is right about Long's Donuts though. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2024/02/16/josh-hart-will-only-step-foot-in-indiana-when-knicks-play-at-pacers/72634410007/?fbclid=IwAR2S9Jpws6W6o_QUnJc-_MMdqgDFqMDxpAxMHJ0MYThyJp4YhZXa12JSxDw
  2. History made tonight in Evansville. yeah I know it's not football related, but this deserves a post here. In the 106 lb. class, Julianna Ocampo gets a pin with 15 seconds left in the 3rd round to become the first female in Indiana history to earn a spot to compete for a medal. I had Julianna in class and have her younger sister now, and am so proud of her for accomplishing this. She quickly fell behind 9-1 in the 1st round. She battled back in the 2nd round to get the score to 9-5 with some back points. With 1:30 left in the match, she takes the lead at 10-9. Talk about persevering. Not only is she a great wrestler, she is ranked 7th in the nation in the 105 lb weight class, but she is a great kid as well. It was really cool too to hear the place erupt when she took the lead and even louder after she got the pin.
  3. I was not the one who hid the topic, but the standard that has been in place since Tim Adams started this site is that posts like the one you mentioned must have a link/source. The same standard has been in place regarding coaching moves and any matters involving player news. There was a post about the incident at NorthWood this past season. The original topic was hidden for the same reason yours was hidden; there was no link. Even hearing something firsthand does not meet the standard TA set over 20 years ago here. So the claim that this was about some "good ole boy" thing is not even close to accurate.
  4. I give this new setup 5 years tops.
  5. And you still run the risk with conference championships of teams playing each other multiple times. Apply the upcoming season format to this past season. The possibility that Michigan and Ohio State playing each other 3 times in one season is not so far fetched. In the SEC, it could be Georgia and Alabama in the same boat.
  6. I never noticed this until now 🤣🤣🤣
  7. Might be my fault for jinxing them, but I texted friends when Purdue was up 15-12 that the 12-11 lead IU had would likely be their last lead in the game. oooops
  8. Kind of a head scratcher. UCLA has not been relevant in a long time, so maybe get out before being forced out? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39492371/ohio-state-hires-ucla-chip-kelly-replace-bill-obrien-oc
  9. And a follow up to the previous one https://x.com/super70ssports/status/1754654650039484682?s=46&t=4cuSTP2hbN0lZR6J2Uj59A
  10. NSFW warning but funny https://x.com/polyesterunis/status/1754206564695887998?s=46&t=4cuSTP2hbN0lZR6J2Uj59A
  11. Virginia school districts are County wide districts; one county=1 school district. I almost took a job in Prince William County in the Manassas area. It was a huge district, with 17 high schools, I believe.
  12. No life in them. The crowd did great trying to keep them in the game, and get them back in. 9 games left. What's the over/under? They might win 3 of them.
  13. Number 5, Randy Gregory, a LB for the Niners played at Hamilton Southeastern.
  14. A 12-4 run by Illinois in the last 3 minutes in the first half Another dumb flagrant foul by Johnson at the end of the half 8-0 run by Illinois in the last minutes of the 2nd half when the game was tied IU had solid leads on multiple points during the game but lacked the discipline to stick with what was working 0-9 from 3 point range....first time in 14 years to go 0fer? Illinois is another team that shoots low from the field and beats IU. They shot 37% Missed too many free throws; shooting 12/22.
  15. The writers do a fantastic job of developing the evil characters on the show; to the point you really grow to despise them and want to see them die a miserable death. 😄
  16. Agreed. Foligno has been solid. Glad to see they signed him to a new deal. Corey Perry was doing well too. I would have liked to see them hang on to him.
  17. Joe Barry is out as DC. Not that I was rooting for it, but his scheme was off most of the year. Too complicated? possibly, but too many mistakes were made throughout the season; mistakes that occurred even when they won games. Interesting names have come up as far as who is being interviewed. Brandon Staley (I was really surprised), Bobby Babich (would be a solid hire), and Aden Durde. Not really familiar with Durde other than he was the D Line coach in Dallas and was with Quinn in ATL; and he is from the UK. I will be curious to see what moves are made this off season. Greatest needs in my mind are safety, CB, especially if Alexander signs elsewhere which appears to be the case from he posted on his twitter. I would love to see a true middle linebacker added; a guy similar to Fred Warner of SF. Campbell and Walker are ok as OLB's, but neither is stout enough to play in the middle against the run. McDuffie is similar to them. I would really like to see Walker just become an edge rusher. he looks slow and lost in pass coverage.
  18. I agree about Vrabel too; really surprised he has not landed somewhere. I am curious if he is just stepping away for a bit.
  19. That was my first comment too.
